February 21, 2010 -  Pinecrest Premier’s U12G Grey team made a strong statement at the FLUGSA Championships this past weekend by finishing runner’s up in their division.  Their semi-final match-up versus Cooper City ended 0-0 in regulation.  After two overtime periods, the score remained 0-0.  The girls experienced their first ever penalty shoot-out.  The winner would earn a place in the Championship game. 

Coach Akram left it up to the players to determine who would take the PKs.  They made great choices and won the shoot out by a score of 4-3.  

 

Sunday’s Championship game would pit Pinecrest against a tough Ft. Lauderdale Select squad.  An incredibly hard fought match saw both teams were playing hard and fighting to try to score the game winner in a close match.  The Pinecrest defense held off the undefeated Select squad, but with just under four minutes remaining in regulation,  Ft. Lauderdale scored to take a 1-0 lead.  The score would hold.

 

Congratulations to the Pinecrest Premier U12G Grey team having a great season and performing outstanding in the Championship!
